Bayern Munich loses Danish midfielder Jonathan Asp Jensen to Deportivo @RCDeportivo because talks with Lazio have taken longer than expected, according to Bild. The 23‑year‑old Jensen, under contract with Lazio since the 2022/23 season, is set to move to Galicia.
Why is Jensen leaving Bayern?
Bayern initially showed interest in Jensen, but negotiations with Lazio dragged on. Bild reports that Deportivo intensified talks and offers the player more playing time and an attractive salary package. The club from La Coruña sees Jensen as a creative midfield engine who could start immediately.
What does this mean for Bayern?
Losing Jensen leaves a gap in Bayern's creative midfield, already stretched by Leroy Sané and Jamal Musiala. Coach Julian Nagelsmann must now look for alternatives to secure depth in the centre. The transfer market remains open for the record champion, but time is short as the season is already underway.
How is Lazio reacting?
Lazio has not issued an official statement yet, but sources in Rome suspect disappointment over missing a potential sale. The club may try to boost Jensen's market value by giving him more league minutes.
What does this mean for Deportivo?
| Club | Player | Position | Age |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deportivo @RCDeportivo | Jonathan Asp Jensen | Midfield | 23 |
The Spanish side views Jensen as a key figure for a return to La Liga. The signing could make the team tactically more flexible and expand offensive options. Deportivo fans are already celebrating the possible signing, while rivals in the Spanish second division watch closely.
What comes next?
The transfer must be completed by August 31 for Jensen to be eligible for the upcoming season. Bayern will now assess whether to bring in a replacement from within the squad or the market. The next weeks will decide if Jensen launches his career in La Coruña or receives a new offer from another European club.
